Especially, 4 pairs in gain calculating portion has carried out the sampled audio signal that loudness is proofreaied and correct, differential with between the level of the signal of differential and full range band and high frequency band between the level of the signal that calculates full range band and low-frequency band.Afterwards, gain calculating portion 4 is based on the differential low-frequency gain and the high-frequency gain that comes calculation correction to handle usefulness of each frequency band that calculates.Thereby, calculate the value of low-frequency gain and the value of high-frequency gain according to the enhanced situation (enhancing degree) of the audio-source that grade has been enhanced of the level of low-frequency band and high frequency band.As a result, no matter use the audio-source of which kind of type, can add best loudness characteristic to the audio signal that generates from this audio-source according to the characteristic (and finally, not relying on the characteristic of audio-source) of audio-source.
Thereby, auditory sensibility correction device 1 is used to carry out loudness and proofreaies and correct, under the situation of the high and low frequency acoustic characteristic that does not rely on audio signal, use suitable loudness thus and proofread and correct, thereby prevent that from loud speaker output distortion sound, this makes the user can listen to the music of high tone quality.
Although illustrated and illustrated the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, auditory sensibility correction device of the present invention is not limited to above embodiment.Apparent for a person skilled in the art, can be as a plurality of distortion or the change that the present invention is not all deviated from spirit of the present invention described here.Therefore, all these distortion and change all should be looked at as within the scope of the invention.
For example, in the present embodiment, loudness filter section 2 is divided into the audio signal of these three frequency bands of full range band, low-frequency band and high frequency band with audio signal, and maximum detects and maximum maintaining part 3, gain calculating portion 4 and gain are provided with portion 5 and carry out separately and above three corresponding processing of frequency band.Yet, in the present invention, and nonessential audio signal is divided into the audio signal of these three frequency bands of full range band, low-frequency band and high frequency band, but audio signal can be divided into four above frequency bands or two frequency bands.
